Cancer mage is cheesy.

Be a druid, when there are no arcanists around to spoil your fun you can reign supreme.

you do know that i am not to use spells for this challange so what would you suggest i use in place of the druids spells?

Level 5 there's nothing that will really destroy a campaign. I had a build somewhere that had 1 round of windup time and then did somewhere on the level of 80 attacks with +400 damage to each or something. That's all the way at level 20 though.

Foo 4 Ghost 1 (buying off the first level already) goes a long way towards destroying a campaign, though.  The complete immunity to nonmagic equipment, extreme mobility, telekinesis, all of that makes you extremely difficult to kill or survive.

Diplomancer. 53 diplomacy on take a 10 before a magic item of +x to diplomacy.
[spoiler]
8 from skill ranks
8 from item familiar (you'll want 16 int and a 6 skill point class).
5 from CHA (16 points for 18 CHA +2 from half-elf paragon, 10 points for 16 INT)
10 from take ten
2 half-elf
6 synergy
9 feats (negotiator, skill focus, nymphs kiss, sacred vow)
2 traits
1 half-elf paragon
[/spoiler]
with a +7 skill item (which can also act as your item familiar) you hit 60 (AKA everyone who can hear me becomes my very good friend in 6 seconds).

When you use a tool the way it was designed for -- its intended function -- then it will work very well for you.

But it's not the tool's fault if you use it for something else and you fail utterly, such as trying to eat cereal with a butterknife, pounding nails with a screwdriver, blogging to voice your political opinions, and brushing your teeth with a hammer.

Can't you get into Cancer Mage at level 4?

The Omnificer and Pun-Pun beg to differ. :P Neither one really needs spellcasting after all (just magic items).

1. Be any class with knowledge religion.
2. Optimize so that you can make a check of 25 without retrying.
3. Call out Pazuzu three times and get a wish granted if not Chaotic Evil.
4. Ask for a candle of invocation.

I often have to remind people not to underrate divination.  The ability to effectively metagame without actually metagaming beats the ability to set things on fire more times than not.

Changeling warshaper pouncer build....

I see that you want to solve problems. Not problems like, "What is beauty?," because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of 'philosophy'. You want to solve practical problems. F'r instance, how are you gonna stop some big, mean Mother Hubbard from tearing you a structurally superfluous new behind? The answer: Use a gun. And if that don't work? Use more gun.
And if that fails try this

Do I even have to give my standard operation procedure recommendation here?

no, that's carnivore.   :p

[spoiler]
If you stop ignoring 289 pages telling what the intent is to stretch "more power" in your own god complexion of your interpretation trumps all to cover ability adjustments from aging then I will ignore a quarter page of rules that exist within a sidebar.
I think in this case the grammar is less important than whether the Str and Dex bonus provided to your created undead scales.

Cancer Mage
In the same vein, Hulking Hurler.

Yes.
"I throw the planet at him."
"Okay, roll to see, wait, you throw WHAT?"
"The planet. It's under my light load." :D

For this be a warforged. Take as much time as you can, preferably over 9000 years (as 9000 years gets you +6570000 to STR).

dont forget to get a method to add returning, range increases and sources of bonus damage.
I'm amazed nobody pointed out warforged can't used this trick (stupid immunity to disease). Use something with huge lifespan, elan works well with young adult at 2000.
Elan's young adult is 100 if I remember correctly but even if I don't it doesn't really matter since they were errata'd to have no maximum age. Their max age used to be 1000+10D100 but that was changed to be infinite because that is what the fluff implied.
